Issue and challenge of teaching science: Successful online-learning management
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays, there are new normal that teachers and learners have always brought up to date, particularly Covid-19 crisis, highly affecting the science learning management. The important issue of science learning management is scientific contexts that are both concrete and abstract. The abstract concepts cannot be taught using only the lecture; therefore, the learning management has been found to elucidate microscopic concepts to be understanding descriptions using various methods. In addition, the critical issue of science learning is “doing laboratory”. Either online practical or non-laboratory practical can assist learners to memorise figures that they have observed from video, dry practical or many simulation techniques. They cannot give knowledge as doing the experiments. This article aimed at investigating issues of online-learning management in science and challenging online learning to achieve the contextual learning objectives by starting from issues of learning management during Covid-19 crisis, issues of science learning management during Covid-19 crisis in Thailand, and Challenge of science learning management in new normal situation.
